October Light…
4:00 is quiet here. The tapping of keys seems like a racket over my space heater’s white noise. At least my ankles are toasty. The expanse of windows behind me heats up on sunny afternoons. Well, at least it did when it was summer. It’s mid-October and I’m grappling with the idea that I might have to put the bronzer away for good. I could get some artificial sun on the way home…. (with a towel over my face, of course…) Maybe. I’m feeling lazy. I might have to settle for a bath.
Every year when the weather turns, I do this. Basically, because I can’t believe I’m still here. Don’t get me wrong, the Northwest is an absolutely gorgeous place and Portland has everything I could ever want in a city. But I simply… Love. Sunshine. The lack of it makes me wilt after awhile.

I don’t get up early by many people’s standards. And I’m already having problems getting up for morning for runs… December is going to suck.
I shouldn’t complain so much, my 20-miler yesterday was crisp and clear. And tomorrow’s Ian’s birthday so that should be extra incentive to get most of mileage out of the way early. I just hope I remember when the alarm goes off and my body thinks it’s the middle of the night.
Why do I love sleeping soooo much?
